Glory, Money, and Neurosis. The Dark Side of Recognition and Success

Glory, Money, and Neurosis. The Dark Side of Recognition and Success

Why do millions of talented, passionate, and hardworking people never become icons of the era, like Pablo Picasso or Marilyn Monroe? And why don’t they create global-scale businesses like Elon Musk? Why do only a few achieve true recognition, big... money, and power? The creator of ‘Business FM’, Yegor Altman, and psychoanalytical psychologist Tsiala Kriheli analyzed the lives of 10 outstanding personalities of the 20th-21st centuries and derived a formula for phenomenal success. The authors aimed to understand what set of factors turns a gifted boy into Vladimir Vysotsky, and a talented girl into Angelina Jolie. It turned out that it’s not just about a 'divine gift'. There are other, much less obvious circumstances that lead a person to the creative, political, or financial Olympus. And the big question is: is it worth it?
